Adhyāya 11 — Maṇḍala-vicāra and Ṣāḍguṇya-prayoga
Circle-of-Kings Analysis and the Six Policies
यन्मात्सर्यमयं भीम: करोति भृशदुःखित: । न तन्मनसि कर्तव्यमिति वाच्य: स पार्थिव:
vaiśampāyana uvāca |
yan mātsaryamayaṃ bhīmaḥ karoti bhṛśaduḥkhitaḥ |
na tan manasi kartavyam iti vācyaḥ sa pārthivaḥ |
Vaiśampāyana nói: “Dẫu Bhīma, bị nỗi sầu thảm đè nặng, có lộ chút lòng ganh tị nào, xin đức vua chớ để điều ấy khắc vào tâm. Hãy thưa với ngài như vậy.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Grief can provoke jealousy and harsh reactions, but one should not internalize or endorse such mātsarya; wise counsel restrains the mind and redirects emotion toward dharmic composure.
Vaiśampāyana reports a message meant for a king: Bhīma, suffering intensely, may show jealousy, yet the king should be advised not to take that sentiment to heart or let it shape his inner resolve.
